If indeed the Aussies had the lower bid, I sure hope it wasn't a close difference. |
Aussies have the most technology and production facilities I guess. I'm guessing that small company is too small to really undertake this sort of scale.
The Canadian Mint will probably start buying the equipment and building factories to print our own notes in future years.
